vliegvink Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hello australian flyers where everything is opposite to our ways Got some mystery planes for you. Question: did anyone over there ever see these, or flew them? Bet not. If you're interested, let me know, I'll tell you more about them. Safe flights to all (even upside down that is) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deskpilot Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 First pic is a modern take on the Flying Flea.Normally only 2 axis but this one appears to have ailerons as well. Can't identify the 2nd one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It is a HM design alright, but perhaps the "ailerons" are elevators on the rear planes, to prevent overpitching at low angles of attack. Some of them have spoilers to aid in crosswind landings. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 There must have been a special on struts when they built the first one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Second pic looks like it uses a Savannah wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankamateur Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Second pic looks like it uses a Savannah wing Not with that ugly dip in the middle , smells more like a 701. Only someone used to driving a Fiat could want to fly one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscotthendry Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Is that a blind person's cane leaning into the cockpit of the first plane? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerme Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 the bottom one looks like a R/C seems to have a receiver wire hanging from behind cockpit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guernsey Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 You couldn't fly that first one upside down....you wouldn't see anything below you. No good in Australia. Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clansman Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 First one looks like a waste of a good prop, and the second one reminiscent of the Aeroprakt Foxbat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
